Giappone: hotel con servizio colazione nella provincia di Prefettura di Aomori

La camera era molto piccola, non c'era un  armadio, ma un piccolo angolo all'ingresso dove appendere qualche vestito, ed era impossibile tenere le valigie aperte. La TV era disposta a fianco al letto, non di fronte, quindi era molto scomoda da guardare, e inoltre si potevano vedere solo pochi canali della tv giapponese. Il letto era attaccato alla parete, quindi per chi dormiva da quella parte era un po' scomodo coricarsi e alzarsi. Purtroppo per la colazione non era possibile avere un cappuccino, ma c'erano uova strapazzate, lo yogurt, pane, verdure varie, miele, fagottini alla mela e croissant e frutta varia.

Enjoyed our short stay there. Room was nice, not as cramped as other places we stayed. The only issues we had was finding the hotel and the room was very warm. Not much of a sign out front. We walked right past the entrance. The registration counter is on the third floor, so nothing is visible from the street. We had to open the window to cool the room down The location was great, halfway between the station and Hirosaki park. Having the bus stop right across the street was nice to have.

Check-in was very smooth. In fact, they allowed us to check in earlier - about 1 to 2 hours earlier, I think. The room was already ready, so they allocated it to us when we arrived. The room itself was rather small but functional and clean, so we don’t really have any complaints other than it being a bit small. I guess this is Japanese standards. The pricing is fairly more expensive than the inns across the road, perhaps because of the location and also because it is very new. The property itself has a very nice onsen. The female onsen had a lot of apples floating in it, which was a very nice touch to showcase Aomori apples. The front desk staff are very nice and very friendly. They also have staff who can speak Chinese. Not that I am Chinese, but I can speak some Chinese better than Japanese, which I can’t speak at all. Nevertheless, the staff could converse in English, or at least some basic English. There’s free yoga and some classes, but we didn’t utilise them as it’s not really useful for tourists who would rather spend time outside the hotel. This seems more suited for locals who want a short getaway, but still a very lovely touch. Breakfast is paid separately and does not come with the room, so there is no comment on that. The property provides Nespresso capsules in the room, and there is also a better Nespresso machine near the check-in counter. I also love that they provide water for free without having to pay extra. The lounge is available for everybody and overlooks the bridge. They provide some free snacks and drinks depending on the timing - different items in the morning and in the evening. That being said, there is no alcohol being served. Also, the coffee there is very bad. I don’t understand why they don’t put the Nespresso machine in the lounge since they have one at the lobby. Overall, everything was quite perfect for this hotel. In fact, the location was the most perfect part. Once you exit the train station, you enter an elevator that goes up to the hotel. Since it was winter, I was afraid I would need to drag my bags for a long time, but it’s right outside the exit after you tap your card and turn left. If I remember correctly, the elevator is right there and there is no need to go outside at all. However, there are only two elevators servicing the entire building, so there might be some waiting time. I would advise leaving earlier if you have a train to catch. The only reason this is not a full-star review is because I requested about a one-hour late checkout due to our train time, and they told us we needed to pay - if I remember correctly, ¥2,000 per hour. I felt they were very rigid about the 11 am checkout time. To be honest, even if they had given it to us, we probably wouldn’t have used it anyway, as we later decided to change our train time to leave Aomori, since there isn’t much to do here. Still, the rejection and inflexibility made us feel very uneasy and unwelcome. I think they could have handled this better by being less rigid and more human. So that’s minus points from us. After all, this is part of hospitality, and it doesn’t hurt.

Posizione dell'hotel: vicino alla stazione ferroviaria JR, a circa dieci minuti a piedi. Nelle vicinanze ci sono molti ristoranti e due o tre centri commerciali dove fare shopping. Colazione in hotel: molto buona, non c'è molta scelta, ma ogni pietanza è preparata con cura. Il succo di mela, il pane, ecc. prodotti ad Aomori sono deliziosi. Servizi dell'hotel: relativamente vecchi, ma ben tenuti e comunque confortevoli. Servizio dell'hotel: molto buono, ho chiesto una camera tranquilla e me l'hanno accontentata.

Best hotel i happened to stay in Japan so far! Staff is very nice, lobby cafe is cozy and comfortable (and has microwave and water supply), breakfast has many options including daily smoothie (delicious!) Room is clean, and i was lucky to have a nice view😍 Very close to the station, like 3 min walk Definitely could recommend it for your stay in Hachinohe

Grande hotel a piedi dalla stazione ferroviaria. Siamo stati bloccati nella sospensione di servizio di Shinkansen e abbiamo dovuto ottenere un'altra notte a Aomori, controllato all'hotel La stanza è piccola, ma pulita e tutto all'interno funziona bene. Il personale è stato estremamente utile e amichevole. In generale in Giappone si paga per uno spazio basicamente, perché tutto il resto è sempre impeccabile in quegli hotel di stile commerciale più piccolo.

Dormy Inn chain hotels rarely disappoint me, and this still holds for Hirosaki one. It is close to Hirosaki Castle rather than Hirosaki Station, but the city has a circular bus that runs every 10 min., and the bus stop for the hotel is just across the road, so it’s not a problem for those who arrive by train. The room is moderate in size by Japan business hotel standard, but it has the added benefits of offering relaxation onsens. As usual, its onsens have both open and indoor pools. This hotel also has cold water pool and sauna. You get free Yakult in the morning, ice pops in the afternoon till late evening. I recommend.

Super hotel, camera confortevole con tutto il necessario. Notte tranquilla. Personale disponibile e piacevole. Buonanotte a Hirosaki

Eravamo due persone. La stanza in cui ci siamo fermati non era grande. Se avete due valigie sarà difficile aprire entrambe allo stesso tempo. Non avevamo valigie, quindi lo spazio non era un problema per noi. Il personale era molto amichevole, gentile e utile. Ho perso i guanti in autobus, e mi hanno aiutato a recuperarli. Anche tu hai il succo di mela come un bevanda benvenuta al desk front (molto bel succo di mela!). Usavamo il deposito bagagli dopo aver controllato, che non era problema. La stanza era molto pulita. Quando eravamo li avevano un piano eco, che era che la stanza era pulita solo una volta al nostro soggiorno di 4 notti, ma poteva avere i tovaglioli ogni volta che volevamo. Anche se è stato buono dal punto di vista ambientale (ma abbiamo deciso di non avere alcuna pulizia). In generale, anche se il nostro soggiorno in questo hotel è stato molto buono.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a pleasant stay and good value for money.
